This conference is co-organized by International Business, Economic Geography and Innovation (iBEGIN) and the Academy of International Business (AIB) Canada Chapter. iBEGIN is a research program at the nexus of the three disciplines of international business, economic geography and innovation. Papers that address any issue at this nexus are welcome as are papers that align with the AIB-Canada Chapter agenda. The conference theme Sustainable Innovation & Entrepreneurship in a Fragmented World is a rough guide to the keynote addresses, but will not affect the choice of papers accepted for presentation at the conference.

The conference is hosted by the Peter B. Gustavson School of Business at the University of Victoria, Victoria, British Columbia, Canada
